BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your guess in the comment section.

There are a couple of potential answers but all along the same idea or theme. Best of luck!

This week’s riddle: I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

I’ll approve responses later in the day to allow people to respond without seeing any spoilers.

Like riddles? Check out past week’s brain teasers.

2023 Shakespeare on the Common: Macbeth

Photo from CSC website

CSC Presents Macbeth on the Boston Common
July 19 – August 6, 2023
All performances are free and open to the public

One of my favorite summer traditions in Boston is attending one of the free performances by the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company (CSC) on the Boston Common. 

I understand that Shakespeare can be difficult to read, but the CSC productions are always fun to watch and a great way to enjoy an evening outdoors with friends or as a date with someone special. Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s better-known tragedies, but if you’re unsure what the story is about visit the CSC website for a brief overview.

While the performances remain free, due to the popularity of these performances, advanced registration is strongly recommended for ease of arrival and priority access to seating. You can bring your own blankets and chairs, but you can also rent chairs online in advance or on-site for $10. All shows start at 8PM with the exception of August 5th which starts at 6PM.

For more information about the programming or the CSC, visit the Commonwealth Shakespeare Co. website.
